Mysterious Pebble

A few weeks ago I was having a day out in Skegness, a
popular seaside holiday resort on the coast of Lincolnshire.
I was walking along the beach, a very fine award-winning one, watching the surf
kneading the sand when I decided to pick up a pebble; I do this kind of thing
habitually whenever I'm at the seaside. It was a pebble like most others, about
two inches long by one wide, made of a blue and grey streaked stone; it's probably
some kind of flint. It had originally been a jagged shard, probably broken off
a larger lump of rock, but its edges have been worn smooth by the constant
friction of the waves. I was about to throw it back into the sea when I noticed
a strange marking on it. I bent down and washed the sand off it in the surf. It
was a double arc cut into the stone, one inside the other. The two were not
parallel and they tapered together somewhat at one end to create a rough half-crescent
shape. Inside the curve of the arcs was a flattened and smooth surface. It was
almost as though somebody had pressed the bottom of a coffee mug into some wet
clay and let it set; except this was stone not clay. I was surprised to find
such a strange feature on a seaside pebble. I didn't think too much of it at
the time because my mind was occupied with heading towards the nearby ice cream
stalls as soon as possible, but I did take the pebble home with me. Could it be
a fossil? You do get fossils in flint. I looked online at a fossil-hunters'
website and found out that Skegness is not a hotspot for fossils because there
are no cliffs or exposed rock. However small rocks are carried southwards by
the current from Holderness, a coastal region of Yorkshire.
If so then it doesn't resemble any kind of fossil normally found on that beach,
according to my source, and I've not seen any pictures of prehistoric animal
and plant life which look like what was on the pebble, see: http://www.chapelpoint.ukfossils.co.uk/.
It's possible that the pebble came from one of the stacked boulders that make
up Skegness' storm defences; the rock looks like the same kind. As the above
link says, it's impossible to date the pebble accurately because there's no way
of knowing what layer of the ground it came from.

Could it be one of these out-of-place artefacts that I've
been reading about? Richard Thompson's and Michael Cremo's Forbidden Archaeology is a thousand-page doorstep of a book, but
it's well worth reading because it reports on the remarkable finds of
archaeologists that don't fit in with the conventional image we have of the
distant past. For example, the bones of modern humans in the same period as
dinosaurs and man-made stone tools in an epoch where only sea life was supposed
to exist. Not only that, but Forbidden
Archaeology also explains how there is a tacit collusion among academics to
suppress knowledge which contradicts the familiar narrative. In one of the most
interesting chapters, the book describes artificial objects like gold chains
being found in lumps of coal from Wales and a strange metal sphere several
billion... not million... years old
found in South Africa. This came from a time when there were supposed to be no
life forms on Earth except the very earliest aquatic microbes. It is definitely
artificial because it has a distinct and exact series of notched grooves around
its equator so that it resembles a cricket ball. There are also human
footprints hundreds of millions of years old, which alone would be anomalous
enough even if these feet were not wearing shoes. The flat soles are visible, and
even the stitching around the edge where they’re sewn onto the uppers. Cremo
calls this cover-up the "knowledge filter", for example see: http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/egipto/esp_electricidad_egipto_1.htm.
I met Cremo once at a conference, see background link below. In that case what
could the marks on my pebble be? As I suggested above, it could be the imprint
of some circular object with a raised rim; I'm not sure if such a thing exists
in nature. It's difficult to tell; we have just a segment of something bigger
which gives us a mere glimpse of what it might be. That's very tantalizing. I
also don't know if there's any way to tell how old the marking is? Could it
simply be caused by the pebble resting for several years against a ship's
anchor or something? If it is truly ancient, then this might be another
discovery to add to that long, long list of evidence that Cremo and Thompson
have accumulated.
